here's my custom stitch that i just finished up for the 626 Experiment with mindSTYLE / disney. mine should be making its debut as part of the upcoming San Diego Comic Con. The original figure was a blank, 10" tall version of Stitch from the Disney Lilo and Stitch franchise. my finished custom stands about 18" tall, and is finished in a trippy copper color. his name is "Time Traveller 626".

deep, contemplative stuff indeed. here are a couple of images of his most famous architectural piece, a pavilion at the state fairgrounds in Raliegh, NC...
